This patchset is based on Google-internal RSEQ work done by Paul Turner and Andrew Hunter. When working with per-CPU RSEQ-based memory allocations, it is sometimes important to make sure that a global memory location is no longer accessed from RSEQ critical sections. For example, there can be two per-CPU lists, one is "active" and accessed per-CPU, while another one is inactive and worked on asynchronously "off CPU" (e.g. garbage collection is performed). Then at some point the two lists are swapped, and a fast RCU-like mechanism is required to make sure that the previously active list is no longer accessed. This patch introduces such a mechanism: in short, membarrier() syscall issues an IPI to a CPU, restarting a potentially active RSEQ critical section on the CPU.
